Catamaran Voyage to Seal and Bird Islands

Catamaran Voyage to Seal and Bird Islands

We will begin the tour at the pier of Don Eduardo Arturo Brisighelli where we'll be able to see the most important buildings in the city of Ushuaia and the Maritim Museum which is the old prison. We'll also see and learn about the Museum of the End of the World, and the important industrial area that started in 1980 and has continued to grow.

Not only will you learn about the city and structures, you'll be blown away by the landscapes and natural beauty all around you. From this point, the landscape is a combination of sea and mountains-specifically you'll have a chance to see Olivia, Five Brothers, the Fique and Túnel estancias (typical Argentine ranches), and the Encajonado River.

From here we will board a small catamaran and sail on into the middle of the Beagle Channel. The ever famous Les Exlaireurs lighthouse will come into view as the boat heads southwest towards the archipelago that houses the lighthouse. As we pass by several small islands you'll have the chance to see pieces of the ship Monte Cervantes, which was shipwrecked in 1930.

As we approach the Sea Lion Island, you'll have the rare opportunity to see the sea lions in their natural habitat. You are sure to fall in love as you watch these peculiar sea mammals sunbathing, diving into the water, and playing with each other. This is really an untouched part of the world-aside from the screeches and squeals of the sea lions you will notice complete silence as the catamaran sails around the island.

After about a half an hour, we will head towards the Bird Island to see the Magellanic Cormorants, the Imperial Cormorants Imperial, the Giant Albatrosses, Petreles Fullman, Petreles, Squas and 20 different species of sea birds. The birds have really taken over the island and it's a site to behold!
